Little update
I did 5 trades on Friday for a loss of 48pts.
So overall on the week gained 61pts.

A quiet week for me trading. Just one trade Monday. A nice one though 109pts on oil.
Currently looking at CHF/JPY short. Thinking about placing an order 8635 with 30 pt stop.
will probably leave it though. betting down into potential resistance and 50% fib and I can't monitor it.

Just one little bet in oil to add 10 pips gained
That's the end of my first proper (trade with a brain) week.
15 bets
10 winning
4 Break even
1 lose
gained 276
lost 52
balance = 224 for the week

I'm gonna stick with it though - It feels good to put in that BE stop feels like a free bet
